Brushes not working

Hi, we purchase this hoover steam vac about 1.5 years ago. About 4 months ago the brushes stopped working and I brought it to a repair service. He said the motor was burned out and ordered a new one. It cost 70 to fix it. It has now been 3 months and the brushes have stopped woring again. We use the vac about once every other week and clean it thorough when we are finished.

Is there anything we can do or check that perhaps it is not the motror again? Any input would be appreicated. Thank you, George

ive noticed my brushes not turning and since then have removed and cleaned the filter and notice the white bocked turbine was not turning. Is there any way to check it yourself for blockage or to see if it has gone bad?ive noticed my brushes not turning and since then have removed and cleaned the filter and notice the white bocked turbine was not turning.

Check the filter from the bottom, it has a red frame, pull it out far enough to clean it, if it is clooged, then the brushes won't spin. If it is clean, pull the brush block out, make sure the shaft that goes up into the turbine is not brokked off, if it is replace thebrush block. With the brush block out, turn on the machine and look up where the brush block goes, there is a square hole, if it is turning, then it is ok, if not, then the turbine is either clogged up or the turbine has gone bad.

The Brushes not spinning is most likely is caused by seized bearings in the turbine, requiring shop service (easy fix). The suction issue can be caused by the standpipe seal missing or lower recovery tank not on properly, on some models missing front panel. I would need more exact model info to assist further.

The lint screen is clean & the brushes switch is in the on position.It dispenses & sucks up the cleaning solution & water; just no brush action.HelpHello, I would advise you to ALWAYS to FIRST UNPLUG YOUR VACUUM before beginning any service procedure. The only thing that I can recommend is that you may have a bad switch, some vacs may have a broken belt or the drive mechanism inside the Hoover Dual V SteamVac F7425-900 in or by the brush assm section and is need of repair.

The first thing to check is the filter on the inside of the lid to the recovery tank, if it is all of the way up to the top, it can cause variouys problems, it should have a 1/4 in gap from the top. The other thing is the turbine, that is what drives the brushes. If the brush block is ok, then most likely the turbine is bad and will ahve to be replaced. Part # for the turbine is 43191006 and sells for about $60.
